-Preproduction models by the way
The photos will probably look better on the finished units.

HDMI output, high resolution LCD screen and a CMOS sensor a little over 12MP. The Sony A700 and the Nikon D300 does have some similar technologies.

I would have an extremely hard time choosing between the D300 and the A700.
